Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) federal Co-Chairman Tim Thomas visited SVEConnect on Thursday, May 30, 2019 to discuss the fiber-to-the-premise project.
Chairman Thomas and his team along with Beth Jones, executive director of the South Tennessee Development District, and Kelly Puckett with Senator Blackburn’s office, joined Mayor David Jackson and SVEConnect officials in a discussion about the fiber project. The group also discussed what future opportunities there may be to leverage the speed and connectivity of the system to make Marion County a better place to live, work and call home.
“High-speed internet is an essential service in today’s technology driven world,” said SVEC and SVEConnect CEO Mike Partin, “and SVEConnect is excited about delivering this service to our Marion County members.”
